Hollywood Sapien is written by anthropologist Scott Frank, for people in the entertainment industry and people interested in it. The goal is to illuminate the always interesting, often surprising, and sometimes astonishing culture of Hollywood.
About the author
I have a PhD in cultural anthropology, with a focus on studying the entertainment industry (it’s true, they gave me a PhD for studying the tribe of Hollywood). Professional experience includes over ten years working in museums dedicated to history and media, several more years working in the television industry, and ethnographic research experience in academic and corporate contexts. My articles on the anthropology of the entertainment industry have been published in Science as Culture, The Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television, and Visual Anthropology Review (forthcoming). Those who know me well know my deep, dark secrets: I moonlight as a fencing coach at USC, and when I read the newspaper each morning, always start with the comics section. I can be reached for questions, comments, etc. at sdfrank@gmail.com.
